Apparatus for controlling fuel flow to an engine including means for disabling the operation of the accelerator pedal linkage associated with a carburetor is disclosed. The construction materially aids in preventing engine backfire. Included is a pivotable solenoid operated latch plate which forms part of an essential pivot point in the linkage arrangement and fixes the pivot point when current is flowing from the coil in engine ignition circuit. Solenoid operated means for stopping fuel to the carburetor and closing the passageway from the carburetor into the intake manifold are also shown.
